i think it's more the forums might spontaneously cease to exist in the near future as a direct result of lowtax being a piece of poo poo but also same, i wholeheartedly support a notax mod coup in order to put posting sovereignty back in the hands of the people

now that the whole internet is infused with forum principles after decades of protracted struggle the forums themselves will simply wither away like the state under communism

does anyone have a perspective on Slobodan Milosevic's ideological position? As far as I've read, he was not on the left at all, and in fact served a role that's kinda similar to Boris Yeltsin as far as deconstructing the socialist institutions of Yugoslavia (though his successors were even worse in that regard), but I guess there are some people who have hot takes about him as an anti-imperialist purely because he was prosecuted by NATO/the West and was carted off to The Hague instead of tried locally?

to be clear, I have no sympathies towards this figure, but I'm trying to find out more

I'm far from an expert, but I'd consider him something like Noriega or Saddam Hussein, objectively on the right opportunist wing of the political establishment he was part of, and willing to work with American imperialists on that basis against forces to his left, both within that establishment and beyond it, but unwilling to be a complete cats-paw, to see that independent establishment dissolved in favor of neo-colonial rule. In that respect, as much as opportunism is to be condemned, and as much as opportunism always involves dire crimes, to join in public condemnation, when the cause of that condemnation is more than anything else the fact that they reached a point where they were unwilling to collaborate any further, and thus came into conflict with the empire, is wrongheaded.
